Read More Not Showing Up

Where are you looking for it to show up? It looks like all the posts in the blog are showing as full posts, and as such the ‘read more’ link will not appear.

On the opening page for the blog that I linked in first post. Those are not full posts. If you click on the post’s title you will see there is much more (with the exception of the second post about our anniversary).

Ok, I see the issue you’re having now. I would suggest contacting the developer of your child theme. Depending on how the child theme was developed I would first check settings in Appearance/Customize/Posts and ensure you have ‘Read More’ text in the More Text area.

I spoke with the developer of the child theme and they said they didn’t do anything with the Appearance/Customize/Posts area that they imported the omega theme css and only overrode some layout options as well as font and graphics.

I looked at the Omega css and can’t find anything with ‘Read More’. It was working fine until the latest update of WordPress and if I switch to a default theme, it is back.

Is there some code I can add to the css to try to troubleshoot it? Something small like the

a.more-link {
font-size:25;
}

?

Thanks again for your help.

Unfortunately it looks like this has nothing to do with css. This is a scripting issue as the read more link is not being generated in your html. Have you tried disabling your plugins to see if the issue persists?

I’ll try that now, thanks for the feedback.

OK. So I disabled all plugins and still had the issue. I switched to a basic theme and the ‘read more’ returned with my plugins activated. I researched some and they say it is in the theme’s function.php or in the theme’s index.php not calling for the ‘read more’ within the loop.

I’m going to stay with a default theme until I can get my developer to look at it. Thanks again for your quick responses and have a great weekend.
